The name Latitude is taken from a terrestrial globe and speaks to the cosmopolitan nature of discovery and venturing beyond the known.


The Latitude model was introduced in 2005. It retains the clean economy of form of the original Hard-edge, and adds a dimensional, ridged design to the casing. The geometric pattern is achieved through a method called “diamond cut” in which patterns are made with a diamond tipped engraving bit.
"We took the unusual, if inefficient, approach of employing this technique used for jewelry and the ornamentation of metal, and applied it to polycarbonate" -Eiichi Tsubota, founder of Tsubota Pearl. The effect is simultaneously luxurious and utilitarian.

A beauty

I bought one for myself and one as a gift. It's such a lovely object to hold in your hand, works well, and will be the one lighter I own.

UNREAL LIGHTER

I'm obsessed with this lighter. It's unique, it's reliable, it's easy to refill and it feels like it's built to last. Gone are the days of losing 1000 BIC lighters a year, I'm gonna hold onto this one.
